Brackendale
holds record
with 3,700

TWENTY years ago,
the American Bald
Eagle was in trouble,
on the endangered list
in almost all the lower
48 States and in dan-
ger of becoming
extinct in the very
country it represents.

The stants of the eagle in
the ULS. has now been
uperaded to “threatened.”
hur there is still nowhere in
the States that has a higher
concentration of these beauti-
ful birds than) our own
Squamish Valley.

Between mid-December

and February, hundreds of

eagles come to the area from
as far away as Alaska.

In 1994, Brackendale set
the world record count for
bald cagles, with more than
3,700 birds.

It is not only the cagles
that are attracted to the area:
nestled berween the Tantalus
and Coast Mountains, among
six glacial rivers, countless
Alpine lakes and a working
estuary, the Squamish Valley
is a mecca for outdoor enthu-
siasts of all kinds.

Spectacular views, abun-
dant wildlife and a fascinating
geological history attract

hundreds of adventurous visi-
tors each year. But the area is
“off the beaten track” as far as
tourism goes, and those plan-
ning to explore would do well
to learn something about the

ted guided tours into the area,

tors what to look for.
